Even today what company X says it should take to do the job and what it really takes in the real world shop are not often the same. Flat rate started in the Model T era and many jobs that are listed as X amount of time on a new car, well lots of people even working at a good pace found that it took 3 to 4 times that amount today. Bet they did too back then.
